THE ASTONISHING WHATSAPP TEXTS BETWEEN FEUDING MPs
In this exchange on WhatsApp between Tory MPs, Braintree’s James Cleverly uses lurid language to urge his fellow MPs to stop accusing each other of plotting
James Cleverly All this nonsense is just political masturbation!
It might feel nice for the person doing it, it’s really distasteful for everyone who is forced to watch and it achieves nothing other than a bit of a mess.
So, please. Let’s not be w ***** s! 14:18
Paul Scully I need mind bleach 14:20
James Duddridge MP Far to graphic Cleverly. 14:20
Nadine Dorries then seizes on James Duddridge's rebuke to Mr Cleverly – to accuse Mr Duddridge of being one of the plotters on the list
Nadine DORRIES As your name is supposedly on the list James, lovely to hear from you. Perhaps you can deny that is the case while you are here? 14:21
You read my message three minutes ago James - how long does it take you to type ‘Not true’ 14:25
James Cleverly How about we don’t do witch hunt stuff on here. 14:26
After Cleverly calls for an end to the ‘witch hunt’, Dorries says names of the plotters will be in the newspapers
Nadine DORRIES We don’t need to James C as it’s in the press tomorrow 14:29
+44 Jackie Doyle-Price It is not a witch hunt to expect people to have the balls to face their colleagues when they are causing so much damage 14:46
Nadine DORRIES Bob Neill and Owen Paterson too. 14:46
Penny Mordaunt weighs in and tells everyone to calm down, unite and rally behind the Prime Minister
+44 Penny Mordaunt Colleagues, we will all be in the trenches together again next week, inc those on GS’s list. I know how angry ppl are, I am too, but Tweeting, media, even whatsapp, or anything else that helps to keep this running is not a good idea. Let the Boss know how well she is supported, work the patch, time with family and sanity enhancing, recharging activities are the order of the day. Sorry to sound like Nanny McPhee & have a good weekend. X 14:48
